Academically, Fountain Woods Elementary School has consistently performed below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics on the NJSLA assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 55.5% in 3rd grade ELA, 46% in 4th grade ELA, and 43.6% in 5th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 44.9%, 53.6%, and 52.7%, respectively. The school also experiences relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.4% to 16.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 27.5% to 37.95% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Fountain Woods Elementary School to nearby schools, it generally performs better than the schools in the Willingboro Public School District, which are all rated 0 or 1 stars by SchoolDigger. However, the school lags behind the performance of schools in the Burlington City Public School District, such as Wilbur Watts Intermediate School and Captain James Lawrence Elementary School, which have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Mathematics. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Fountain Woods Elementary School, as well as many of the nearby schools, suggest that addressing attendance and engagement issues could be an area of focus for the district and the community.
